Re: Why do people think Star Wars is dead?

rather than death, an identity crisis is more like it.once upon a time, as in ESB, star wars addressed adult relationships and compelling dark characters. as well as special effects that didnt walk all over every scene. But now it is geared more towards kids and the stories being told often leaving you asking "why did they do that?" so death...probably not. I think if it is going to thrive for adults again the live action series has to do alot of damage control, heres hoping.KOTOR has been the only really good story telling lately.

Re: Why do people think Star Wars is dead?

Star Wars is the second highest grossing(money making) film of all time in the US and its from 30 years ago. And adjusted for inflation Star Wars is the highest grossing film series of all time by far. it makes almost double what LOTR made when you adjust prices for inflation.

And their are millions of fans out their for Star Wars that wouldn't be put of by the new clone wars.

Clone Wars is thbe first officially BAD Star Wars movie, on RottenTomatoes.com they collect the views of hundreds of proffersional film critics and give it a score.These are the scores of each Star Wars movie

A New Hope 95%ESB 97%ROTJ 75%TPM 64%AOTC 67%ROTS 80%Clone Wars 12%

And average rating for an avergae film is around 45-55% so Star Wars movies are clearly all quality, except for Clone Wars which i won't lie...got a terrible score.

So as you can see STar Wars has only been affected by Clone Wars but the TV or the live action show should redeem it.

Make way for captain optimism

SW won't be going anywhere for a LOOOOOOONG time, it's just that with the newer stuff, it's fanbase is becoming more and more divided. You've got the old guard who love the old movies and hate the living guts of most of the new ones. Then you got the kidies and some others who love the new ones and as the look back to discover the old ones aren't impressed with the aging graphics in comparison to what they just saw in theaters.

All this aside, there is infinate room in SW for fans of all types. They might not like everything about SW, who does? But there is something in SW that almost everyone loves, whether it be in the new films, the original trilogy, or perhaps only in the EU; but there will be fans of SW for a VERY long time................until everything dies

Re: Why do people think Star Wars is dead?

Is it possible to love both era's of the SW realm? To fully like, love and enjoy both 1/2s of the saga? I might be the odd person out, that really does. Im still out on Clone Wars, though I'm going tonight. I've heard A LOT of different things about it. The death of SW? I don't think anytime soon. That will happen long after I am dead Im sure.

Good. Being alone isn't what I had in mind.
